[PATCH] Docs/mm/damon/design: replace "same to" with "same as"

[Enze Li]

"same to" is not idiomatic; it should be "the same as" or "same as".
This doc has six such usages.  Fix all of them at once for consistency.

This patch is applied to damon/next [1] tree.  I will repost it soon (~1 week)
as an mm.git merge request.  So, no action from your side is needed for now.
